Police said Mary Knee, 25, intentionally hit a 29-year-old woman with her van on Wilson Street about 9 a.m. Sunday.

The victim, who identified herself as Christina to WMUR News 9, said she suffered bruises and cuts.

The victim told police the van drove directly at her, but she was able to initially jump out of the way. She said that the van then stopped, backed up and drove at her again, striking her with the front end.

"She floored it, and that's when she hit me. I thought I was going to die. I thought I was done," Christina said.

She told police that the collision sent her up and over the front of the van before she landed on the ground.

"I tumbled over the top of the car and rolled off," she said. "I started screaming, 'Someone please call the cops!' and a neighbor ran out and said, 'I already did.'"

Police said Knee drove away after hitting the victim.

Officers said they later found Knee driving the van with her 20-month-old son in the front seat. Police said the child was in a front-facing car seat in the front despite warning labels about doing so.

Knee was arrested and charged with reckless conduct, conduct after an accident, endangering the welfare of a child and violation of existing bail conditions.

Police said Knee was already on probation after a theft arrest in September.

Christina said she did not know what happened between her and Knee that ended their friendship.

"I don't know. She never came through and told me why she stopped talking to me," she said. "I was really scared. I thought she was going to kill me."
